		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t heard of Judson Phillips, it&#8217;s probably because you haven&#8217;t yet signed up for Tea Party Nation, the national-level organizer of Tea Party organizations that sends you a ton of emails, many of which are titled &#8220;Draft&#8221; or, once, &#8220;Do Not Send.&#8221; Judson Phillips may be an idiot. As the organizer of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve said it before, and I&#8217;ll say it again: democracy doesn&#8217;t work. Okay, democracy totally works, but it works on the responsible conduct of an informed citizenry. I don&#8217;t know if our current citizenry is less informed and responsible than that of, say, 1893, or if I&#8217;m just alive and therefore capable of experiencing blinding, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are just two of the many fun quotes in Jane Meyer&#8217;s New Yorker article about David and Charles Koch, the billionaire brothers who founded Americans For Prosperity, support a network of conservative think tanks dedicated to libertarian causes, and have been instrumental in creating and sustaining the Tea Party movement: They’re smart. This right-wing, [...]]]></description>

The event was essentially a campaign speech—outside of the state in which she is campaigning, which adds to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In all the speculation about whether the President of the United States is a secret Muslim—a concern matched only be the pre-election fear that his Chicago pastor made him a secret black nationalist—we sometimes forget another possibility: that he secretly subscribes to no religion at all. Obviously, when you&#8217;re publicly speculating on a man&#8217;s deeply-held [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s possible you&#8217;ve heard about this, but Glenn Beck held his &#8220;Restoring Honor&#8221; rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday, drawing anywhere from 87,000 to 1,000,000 middle-class, white conservatives to reclaim the civil rights movement. That&#8217;s not fair; it was really to honor American troops and raise money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Except [...]]]></description>

That much was unremarkable. The audacity of the second claim was kind of cool, [...]]]></description>
